PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

OUR TEAMS OF CHARTERED BUILDING SURVEYORS HAVE A WEALTH OF CONSULTANCY EXPERIENCE AND SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE. THEY PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RELATING TO THE PROTECTION, CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF YOUR PROPERTY.

Building SurveyingWe provide a full building surveying service ranging from pre- acquisition and condition surveys of individual premises of any scale and type, through to the inspection of whole building portfolios. We also offer ad-hoc surveys and advice for dealing with specific building problems.

Dilapidation and Schedules of ConditionWhen property is held on a leasehold basis, tenants may have obligations to repair during the term and to leave the property in repair and to reinstate when the lease ends. We act for landlords and tenants in preparing and negotiating Schedules of Dilapidations served during and at the end of the lease. This can include the pricing of the Schedule and negotiation to settle the claim. Dilapidations claims are often disputed and we provide advice on the merits of a case and acts in referrals. We also prepare and negotiate Schedules of Condition at term commencement which limit the tenant’s repairing obligations to ensure the property is returned at the end of the lease in no better condition than that in which it was taken.

Party Wall MattersWe provide professional advice on the implications of the Party Wall Etc. Act 1996, with advice provided to those either contemplating works or those that are affected by proposed works.

Defects Analysis Our team of Chartered Building Surveyors have a wealth of experience of building types and construction methods allowing them to undertake detailed building pathology. We provide clients with analysis of building defects and recommendations to overcome the issues and problems identified.

Expert WitnessWe have considerable experience in providing expert witness reports in construction and property related disputes. Reports can cover professional negligence in surveys, design and administration, defective building works, and buildings in disrepair. We act for landlords and tenants in dilapidations disputes, provide advice on the merits of a claimant’s case in court proceedings, and appear as personal representatives in a Court of Law if required.
